For Mounjaro or Zepbound users (Tirzepatide) to monitor essential biomarkers.
21 biomarkers as listed by Blue Horizon Medicals.
The Mounjaro Monitoring Blood Test is a comprehensive screening profile specifically designed for individuals using Tirzepatide. As a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, Tirzepatide significantly impacts your metabolic processes. While it is highly effective for weight loss and glycaemic control, it places unique demands on your body. Regular monitoring is essential to ensure your organs are transitioning safely as you lose weight and to catch any rare side effects-such as dehydration or gallbladder stress-before they become serious. It is important to note that Tirzepatide is also the active ingredient in the brand Zepbound.
Inclusions: Sodium, Urea, Chloride, eGFR, Creatinine.
Why it's important: Tirzepatide can cause gastrointestinal side effects like nausea or diarrhea, which may lead to dehydration. This panel monitors your hydration levels and ensures your kidneys are filtering waste efficiently, protecting you from potential acute kidney stress.
Inclusions: Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin, ALP, ALT, AST, Gamma GT, Bilirubin.
Why it's important: Rapid weight loss can sometimes stress the liver or cause gallbladder issues (like gallstones). Monitoring these enzymes ensures your liver is processing the metabolic changes healthily and helps detect any rare instances of drug-induced liver irritation.
Inclusions: Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL, HDL%, LDL, Non-HDL.
Why it's important: One of the major benefits of Tirzepatide is its ability to improve cardiovascular health. This profile tracks the positive shift in your cholesterol and fat levels, helping your clinician see how the medication is reducing your long-term risk of heart disease.
Why it's important: This test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It is the gold standard for seeing how well the medication is working to stabilize your glucose levels and manage insulin sensitivity.
Why it's important: Lipase is an enzyme produced by the pancreas. Because GLP-1/GIP medications carry a small but noted risk of pancreatitis, monitoring Lipase levels provides an early warning system for pancreatic health, even if you aren't experiencing symptoms.
